Dear Ex-Lover
I never fell in love with a poem this deep after the first time of hearing it.
Dear Ex-Lover
by Jasmine Mans
"Forgive yourself before you ever forgive the person sitting next to you. I’ll tell her to never regret loving in permanent ink, and that scars only give you stretch marks, something to gossip about. And that hearts and stop signs are fraternal twins, lost in open roads and hollow chests."
"...stop looking for the light at the end of the tunnel and find God in the darkness."
"I hope she never memorizes the dial-tone of a last conversation, because a broken heart feels like poisoned butterflies taking their last flutters in the pit of your stomach."
Feels all night long for me.
